Best Western Premier Dover Marina Hotel & Spa

We were allocated rooms in their newly decorated wing which were spectacular. Everything you could ask for. Lifts to all floors so no carting bags up stairs. Staff were friendly and helpful. If I stayed again I would ask for an ocean front with a terrace in the new wing.

Service was very friendly and efficient. The room (on the 4th and top floor) was fairly cramped and dark from small boxer windows, but it was comfortable enough and functional. Lower floor rooms would likely be better. The hotel had an excellent bar and bar food with a wonderful view over the harbour. (It also had what looked like an excellent restaurant, judging from the menu and setting, but we opted for the more informal bar.) Parking was good and only a short walk from the hotel. The best thing though was the ability to cross the frontage road onto the promenade where we could take a lovely walk along the sea-front. It's hard to beat that. And access then to the ferry terminal (our purpose in being here for one night) was easy.

A great location on the sea front. Very handy for Dover Ferry port. Loads of free parking and a hotel car park. The hotel is being refurbished if offered an upgrade I recommend you take it as the refurbished rooms are excellent very large and some have a sea front verandah which is superb as I could see my car on the well lit street which suited me perfectly. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the hotel has a good bar and restaurant. They are a bit short on alcohol free drinks for adults but their selection is better each visit. I never consider any where else when coming to Dover its a perfect overnight stop well priced and convenient.

We spent 2 nights at the Dover Marina Hotel, and overall we really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect and right opposite the beach and close to the town. We were pleasantly surprised by all the facilities the hotel had to offer. The Churchill Bar is beautiful, the coffee shop is a really nice place to stop by if you have a busy day ahead, and we weren't sure what to expect from the Spa but the massage I had there was fantastic. We were a little disappointed by some of the food in the hotel restaurant, but the atmosphere was great and staff were really attentive and it's still well worth a visit. Our room itself was a bit smaller than expected, but suited us just fine for our short stay. We were given the option to upgrade to a sea view room at an extra cost but did not take it. We wish we would have done this because the views at the back of the hotel weren't great, but the sea view from the bar was exceptional. There was a bit of a bleach/drain smell in the bathroom but the bed was very comfortable, and our room was cleaned everyday and the complimentary teas/coffee and biscuits were topped up daily. They also provided decaf coffee which was a nice touch. There was a bit of refurbishment going on when we stayed so we don't feel like we got to see the hotel at it's best but the staff were very friendly and accommodating and we had a great stay overall.
